A touch of light: crowsThey must accede to the authority of crows. Love it.
It made me laugh out loud. That doesn’t happen often.
So enjoy your words and your turn of phrase. Love the up close feathers.
Mike, have you read the book Feathers by Thor Hanson?
In it he remarks that if he is not gobsmacked each time he is out in nature, it’s because he is not paying attention. Worth a read.

A touch of light: Aquila audaxAnother gem from master Mike’s pen. Thank you.
Your mention of being too close to take a shot reminds me of being in a national park and seeing two keen photographers with huge telescopic equipment.
I tippy-toed away from them and shyly hid my Ipad … my only camera. We met up again under a bush shelter and who should come hoping out from the undergrowth and bounce past our feet … a lovely little potoroo. Guess who got the only image?

A touch of light: native passionfruitIt is not often that I gasp at an image but that is just what I did for ‘A touch of light’. What a sublime shot, congratulations. Thank you for another lovely article. I look forward to the next one.
